No, I think you’re wrong about that. There is definitely an overlap with regards to race and class. And some issues that are treated as race issues are mostly class issues. I agree with that part. But many racists are lower class. In fact, many racists are lower class than the black people they hate.

Black people don’t escape racism once they become middle class. If anything, they face more of it.The problem is much more entrenched than you’re portraying it.
